How to make a chain necklace longer
2010-10-09 08:20:02
There are many times when you deeply love with a perfect chain only to find out that it is too short and doesn’t match with your neck. You don’t have to go out and buy a new chain and throw away the one that you really like.It only needs a couple of dollars and a few minutes of your time. Long needle-nose pliers and 4 mm or 6 mm jump rings are required tools.
Firstly, buying some jump rings. For most regular-sized chains, you can use 4 mm or 6 mm jump rings. They cost about $4 or more low and can be found at jewelry stores. Secondly you need to prepare the jump rings. If you look closely, you'll see a tiny space on one side of the ring that needs to be spread apart in order for you to be able to slide it into the link in the chain. You can either take two long needle-nose pliers, put one on either side of the ring and spread the ring apart; or you can put your shirt over your thumb and, while holding one edge of the ring with your thumb, pulling the other side with the long needle-nose pliers. Open up as many jump rings as you need in order to have the chain fit around your neck. Thirdly you should take the jump ring and link it with the end of your chain that doesn’t have the clasp on it. Now you have to close the jump ring. Do this by taking the long needle-nose pliers, placing it on the sides of the jump ring and slowly squeezing it together until the gap in the ring closes. Do this for each jump ring that you want to attach. Finally measuring the necklace around your neck to see that you have the correct length.
You should pay attention to this never try to open the jump rings with your fingers alone. You will end up hurting your fingers or tearing your nails. They're very difficult to open without extra help.
